The presence of prehistoric burial mounds provide evidence of human habitation here going back to ancient times. In fact, a Bronze Age village has been discovered by archaeologists in 1987.Little is known about Newquay until the 15th century, when a village called Towan Blystra is recorded to be located here. In 1801, a census recorded the village of St Columnb Minor (now part of Newquay) with a population of some 1,300 people. Growth and development only came with the arrival of the railway line in 1876. In the following few decades, Newquay saw the opening of a few hotels and churches.
Tourism which began in the 19th century continued to develop into the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly along the town beachfront. It is regarded as the surfing capital of Britain, and has many surf stores. It also has a lively nightlife with beachside cafes, nightclubs and bars.
